This week we started a new book assignment for Language Arts class. The book is “The Giver” By Lois Lowry. It is about a Utopian society where there is no violence and no mistakes. If you mess up, are born defective ,or get very old you get “released” for the safe sheltered world you know and are sent to the unknown. The main character is an eleven year old boy named Jonas who is anticipating the “Ceremony of Twelve.” When his job will be chosen for him by the Elders who have been watching all the eleven year olds carefully. Will he get what he wants or will he somehow be released? If I had an assignment in The Giver I would be an Instructor. I would instruct Elevens because they probably behave better than the others.
